Gorgeous views!

This house is vibrant, spacious, well equipped and met all our needs. The location is remote and peaceful but still close enough to restaurants, stores, and Key West. Our favorite place to stay in the Keys!

Great vacation

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The home was very comfortable, lots of indoor and outdoor seating, the screened porch was great for outdoor meals, the pool was used everyday and the plantings around it were beautiful plus afforded us lots of privacy , the dock was a perfect place to watch the sunsets. Karen answered all communications quickly and answered all questions. Everything worked exceptionally well and all our needs were more than provided for. Thanks Karen!

February in the Keys

The house is as described. Very home feel to the property with family pictures and a lot of books to read. Large deck with lounge chairs to get the warm sun than head over to the pool with plenty of shade to get out of the sun. Outside shower was a big hit with guest- just remember to bring a towel. Kitchen is well stocked with all the utensils needed for making a meal including a cake.

Home away from Home

The location and orientation of the home is perfect. We have historically spent ocean holidays on the beach, but after staying right on the sea with a deck to jump off and swim, I can say I prefer the latter to the beach. We spent so much time on the sun deck swimming, talking, enjoying the warm sun and staring at the stars. The pool was within 25 feet of the ocean and very warm with shaded areas. We spent a ton of time in the pool with our 7 month old, who just loved it. The landscaping and various plant life was tropical and pretty to look at. Oh, did I mention the beautiful sunsets over the water. We looked forward to them every day. The outdoor shower was also heavily used, whether after swimming or an attempt to not wake the baby :-) The neighborhood was also noteworthy. From passing by friendly neighbors on our morning walks to the lovely staff at Murray's market less than 2 minutes drive from house. Slice of Paradise Pizza was also delicious and a short walk away. The inside of the house was clean and felt like home. High ceilings, lots of natural wood and Keys decor made up the space. The layout of the bedrooms gave everyone a great sense of privacy while still being close and connected. It is worth mentioning that the pillows are on the flat side if you are particular. The bedroom with the twin beds upstairs is open air to the dining room area where we tended to hang out a lot. Eating and playing games. So whomever is staying in that room will hear what is happening in the dining room and vice versa. Karen and Sonny were so kind and helpful throughout our stay. I could text any questions and get a response back in no time. We absolutely loved our stay and will definitely come back again. The trip turned out just as we had dreamed it about.
